Manny Machado

Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado has decided to have season-ending surgery on his ailing right knee, leaving the Orioles without one of their best players as they try for their first division title in 17 years.

As Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado recovers from offseason surgery on his left knee, he will be on a rehab assignment this weekend with the Frederick Keys, a minor league Orioles farm team.

While Bryce Harper may be playing the game so hard he mistakenly ignores physical barriers, Manny Machado to the north, is struggling to break through the glass ceiling placed above him because of exceeding expectations of guys like Harper.
